Steering wheel vibration when braking
Pretty sure I know what the issue is but just want some feedback anyways because I over analyze lol ... little back story .. car was involved in an accident 2 months ago and had some suspension components replaced .. car was obviously aligned and I had all 4 tires placed on ...
Now when I brake from 60-40 the steering wheel vibrates lightly... I already had my wheels re balanced and it still does it ... i need new brakes for the front and back in 4K miles according to the car info ... so I think the fronts are worn a little earlier than predicted which is causing the issue. Thoughts? |

Warped rotors. I’m on my 3rd set and car is at 11,900 miles. Every time they changed them out, car is smooth. Just had mine done and hopefully it’s the last time. But yeah, symptoms are braking in the 65 to 45 mph zone, steeringwheel shakes.

Get road force balancing from a shop that KNOWS how to use their equipment. Some shops have the machine and don't calibrate it/know how to really use it. Vibration on braking is most likely rotors. Warped or big deposits on them.

That’s effn BS. Those rotors should be replaced! Take it to another stealer. And/or have them ride with you to show the shaking. These are top of the line bmw machines and should never shake when braking. Fuckn Honda’s don’t do it, neither should M5s!!
